"When it was built, the only signs of the house on the surface were an unusual number of ground-mounted air-conditioning units camouflaged by clusters of large rocks," writes F. Andrew Taylor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "A few larger rocks concealed stairways and an elevator. A caretaker's house was added later, and the main entrance to the underground house now runs through it."
